Carroll Martin, a 51-year-old man, was found with multiple gunshot wounds in the 700 block of Florence Avenue in Lexington, Kentucky, on September 15, 2019. Emergency responders took him to a local hospital, where he died of his injuries. The shooting prompted a homicide investigation by the Lexington Police Department and was one of two murders in the city within a 12-hour period; authorities did not believe the cases were connected.

Eyewitnesses reported seeing a Black man with a beard fleeing the scene and running toward Douglas Avenue. Police asked the public for tips and for any relevant surveillance footage. By early 2024 the case remained unsolved and was listed among Lexington’s cold cases as the department worked to generate new leads.

Does anyone who lived near Florence or Douglas Avenue in September 2019 remember seeing a man matching that description or have surveillance that might help investigators?
